I like to use Google Talk and Bartender Pro on my Blackberry Storm. The later one is available at almost free from Blackberry Storm Apps Cheers!

Mike, the data plan is limited. It’s a fairly generous 5GB monthly limit, but it’s not truly unlimited. Also, there are applications that work over WiFi but not on 3G. Apps that use your local WLAN to remote control an app or a PC for example. Works on WiFi but won’t always work over 3G because many of those apps communicate to and from specific private IP addresses.

You fail to realize that purchasing a BlackBerry on Verizon requires you to purchase a data plan (which is unlimited by the way) and the Storm does not have WiFi (who needs it when you always have 3G access). What I don’t understand is how you think there could be an application that would work on WiFi and somehow not work on a data plan? If it works on one it will work on the other, it wouldn’t require you to have a data plan, and even if you could somehow get a BlackBerry without a data plan that does have WiFi what would be the point, you couldn’t get your emails and that’s what BlackBerries are all about. You should really get your facts straight before you go making comments like that.

A few of James’ choices require an always-on data link to work – including Google Maps, which works fine on my old TX when accessed using wifi, but ‘you can’t get there from here’ on a BB.

Its a pity that so many software providers are creating products that require full time (paid for) wireless connectivity when so many BBs now have access to wifi and could do the same thing with on-demand access.

The iPhone Effect.

Pity.

I’d suggest CaptureIt, a free screen capture software ;)

I’d also add Viigo to that list – it’s a good RSS reader.

I think you missed Opera Mini. Browsing is so much better when you use that free app…
